Moving technology: we conceive, design, manufacture and tailored magnetic tickets/cards, contact and contactless cards, smart tickets and RFID readers.

Cards & RFID

Smart cities are moving to fully contactless systems for fast, convenient and secure services. Contactless payment has swept through public transport access systems, ski slopes and many other areas. Technological change is already a reality. We work with the most used chip families: MIFARE®, Calypso®, I-Code®, CIPURSE® and FeliCa®.

Cards

The Calmell Group offers the widest range of plastic cards and smart cards on the market, mainly RFID, manufactured according to international standards and norms. We offer both contactless and smart cards, memory or microprocessor cards, in any interface: contactless, contactless, contact and dual, providing technological solutions for identification, authentication and data storage.

Smart Tickets

Taking advantage of the technological effectiveness of contactless cards and inserted into paper or cardboard, smart tickets provide a solution for one-off user allowing for the evolution of access systems at a reasonable cost. Available in different materials, memory capacities and safety levels, and in all formats: rolls, single units and fanfold.

Graphic and electrical customisation

Graphic and electrical customisation: cards and smart tickets can be printed in multiple colours, and tailor made individually, adding numbering, barcode or QR application, chip codification and application of other finishes such as magnetic strip and security holograms.

Magnetic

Calmell’s magnetic division came into being more than 30 years ago and is where the group first became renowned. Throughout these years, it has participated in projects around the world, and has responded to all kinds of customer requests, changing and improving the product to adapt it to the needs at any given time. That is why we are considered by end customers and integrators (OEMs) as a solid, reliable and proven quality supplier, and, therefore, as a reference supplier.

The use of any paper, cardboard or plastic material, the application of any type of web by different methods, and the different printing options, results in a complete range of products that cover all the possibilities of the market.
